SPP’s Board of Directors approved the RTO’s third competitive transmission project, awarding a 345-kV line’s construction to NextEra Energy Transmission.

SPP says that consolidating its transmission planning processes would save $9 million annually and produce a more holistic view of its transmission needs.

Eversource Energy will replace underground conductors in central Massachusetts to mitigate environmental and reliability issues.

The West needs new transmission near term and far more in the long term for California to meets its goal to provide customers with 100% clean energy.

Major transmission construction will help the grid tolerate increasingly severe weather, panelists said at a recent ACORE webinar.

PJM stakeholders affirmed OA language from the RTO’s mitigation proposal endorsed in February to avoid critical infrastructure projects.

Calif. needs to increase the pace of transmission buildout to reach its 100% clean energy goals by 2045 & retain natural gas for reliability, advocates say.
